This study aimed to develop a specific and sensitive method for the rapid detection of NF-κB activity in pancreatic tissue. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: (1) 16 rats in the acute pancreatitis (AP) group received re…

A primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the colon is a rare oncologic entity. The current study presents a case of such a tumor in the transverse colon of a 26-year-old male, and describes the computed tomography features of the neoplasm. Th…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common disease. The most widely used staging system of endometriosis is the revised American Fertility Society classification (r-AFS classification) which has limited predictive ability for pregnancy after sur…

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical value of strain elastography for detection of the lesion extent of large-scar endometriosis and compare it to conventional sonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). M…

Endometriosis is a steroid-dependent complex disease. The oestrogen receptor plays an important role by mediating oestrogen action and eutopic or ectopic endometrium development. This study investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphis…

Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer that has been shown to inhibit growth of mouse antral follicles, however, little is known about the mechanisms by which DEHP does so. Oxidative stress has been linked to follicle growth in…

BackgroundHepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is a rare liver tumor. This paper summarized the clinical, radiological and pathological features of HAML.MethodsSeventeen cases of HAML were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were subjected to s…

BackgroundReliable and timely information on the leading causes of death in populations, and how these are changing, is a crucial input into health policy debates. In the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD…

Rapid estrogen effects are mediated by membrane receptors, and evidence suggests a role for both a membrane-associated form of estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1; ERα) and G-protein coupled receptor 30 (GPER; GPR30). Considering estrogen's impor…

Mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) is the active metabolite of the most commonly used plasticizer, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and is considered to be a reproductive toxicant. However, little is known about the effects of MEHP on ovarian…

During each menstrual cycle, the human uterus undergoes a unique transformation, known as decidualization, which involves endometrial stromal proliferation and differentiation. During this process, the stromal cells are transformed into dec…

BackgroundNon-fatal health outcomes from diseases and injuries are a crucial consideration in the promotion and monitoring of individual and population health. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) studies done in 1990 and 2000 have been the o…

OBJECTIVE: To explore diagnostic and therapeutic methods of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS: Clinical data of a case of complicated deep infiltrating endometriosis were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: A 39-year-old…

ObjectiveTo study the effect of telomerase activity (TA) in human luteinised granulosa cells (GCs) on the outcome of in vitro fertilisation treatment.MethodsFifty-six women, aged 23 to 39 years, were enrolled and divided into four groups ac…

PurposeTo evaluate the safety and therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE).Materials and methodsTwenty-one consecutive patients …

ObjectiveTo evaluate if the expression and chemotactic activity of RANTES are different in IL-1beta treated autologous eutopic endometrial stromal cells compared to ectopic and normal endometrium.Study designConditioned media from IL-1beta-…

Rationale and objectivesIn patients with adenomyosis, the severity of symptoms correlates roughly with the extent of adenomyosis. Thus, it was hypothesized that the ablation of enough volume of adenomyosis might alleviate symptoms. The aim …

OBJECTIVE: To study the inhibitory effect on the expression of regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and monocyte chemotactic activity of ectopic endometrial stromal cells by nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB dec…

BackgroundThe involvement of the cyclooxygenases (COX), in particular COX-2, is well documented for many tumours, e.g. colon, breast and prostate cancer, by both experimental and clinical studies. There are epidemiological data from subject…

ObjectiveExtraovarian peritoneal serous papillary carcinoma (EPSPC) is both histologically and clinically similar to stage III-IV ovarian papillary serous carcinoma (OPSC). The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical findings, …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of antiprogestins mifepristone and lilopristone on proliferation and expressions of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) of ectopic stromal cells in vitro. METHODS: The ectopic stromal cells of ovary were c…

There are well-documented differences in ion channel activity and action potential shape between epicardial (EPI), midmyocardial (MID), and endocardial (ENDO) ventricular myocytes. The purpose of this study was to determine if differences e…

In prenatal diagnosis the following alternative dysmorphic syndromes must be considered: Turner, Noonan, microcephalylymphedema and jugular lymphatic obstruction.Turner syndrome was easily excluded by karyotyping.Noonan was unlikely because…
